 Life of Her Husband.

 live in East l57th street, west of Third avenue, and have lived there for about twenty three years, where I own real estate. Up to the time I am about to mention had been strong, we'll man. There was always more or less malaria in the neighborhood, but had not personally suffered from it. It was in 1880 had my first attack. It came on as such attacks commonly do, with headaches, loss of appetite and ambition, chilly sensa. tions with slight fever afterwards, disposi. tion to yawn and stretch and so forth. was employed at that time at Killians & Brothers, furniture manufacturers in West s2d street I hoped the attack would wear on but as it didn't, l consulted well.known and able physician in Morrisania, who gave me quinine and told me what to do. I can sum up the first four and half or five years of my expe. rience in few words. Occasionally I was laid up for day or two, but on the whole | stuck to my work. I kept taking quinine, in larger doses from year to year, and kept on getting weaker and worse slowly but surely. all the time My trouble was now well de
 fined, and its symptoms were steady and reg ular. had dumb ague in it's worst form, and it was grinding me down in spite of all that do nr fha
 in grip like Jire in a burning coal mine. The poison had gone all through and over me, and nothing was able to touch it. I was fast los. ing flesh and strength, and about March. 1884. Knocked of work entirely and went home to be down sick, and die for all could tell. ran down so rapidly that soon became unable to walk any distance. Later I went from room to room in my own house only by friends holding me up by each arm. The doses of qui. nine were increased until often took thirtu grains dt q dOse. The effects of this tremen. dous stimulation was to make me nearly wild. It broke my sleep all up. and often walked the hoor or staggered about it. all night long, scarcely able to bear any noises or even hu man speech. My temper was extremely irri table. As to food, one of my little children would eat more in a meal than I could ma day. would order food and then turn from it in disgust. l lived on quinine and other stimulants and on n'yseV, like bear in win ter The quinne set my head in whirl, and the iiquor-giyen as q medicine-made my stomach so sick could not tolerate it.
 From l75 pounds (my proper weight) I ran down to S7 pounds-the weight of light girl -and was scarcely better than skeleton.

 During the latter part of this period, early in 1ss6 my physician said "Miller, there's no use in my taking any more money of you. can't do you any good. might pour pounds of quinine down your throat, and it wouldn't help you"
 On the strength of this I gave up the use of quinine altogether, and made up my mind to do nothing more and take my chances.
 Three weeks afterwards-about the last of May-my wife saw an advertisement of Kas. kine in New York. paper. She told me of it. said: "Stuff and nonsense! it can't do me any good" But she went to druggists, nevertheless, to get it. The druggist advised her against Kaskine: he said it was nothing but sugar; that she ought not to throw away her money on it. etc. He sad he didn't keep it, but could get it if she insisted on having it. Turning away in disgust, my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mir. A. G. Hegewald, who got her a bottle at drug store in Sixth avenue.
 Almost against my will, and without the least faith, began taking it. In one week was better. I began to sleep. I stopped "seeing ghosts" began to have an appetite and to gain strength. This was now the first of June 1886, and by the end of that monthI was back at my bench at C. P. Smiths scroll saving factory in ll6th street, where work now.
 Since then have never lost a day from sick ness. Taking kaskine only, about forty pei lets in four equal doses day, continued to gain. The malaria appeared to be killed in my system, and now I've got back my old weight-l75 pounds-and my old strength to labor am an astonishment to myself and to my friends, and if kaskine did not do this, I don't know what did. The only greater thing it could do would be to bring dead man to life. FREDERICK A. MILLER,
